Envision 11-3 Assignment

In this next section, you are expected to calculate the volume of cones and pyramids.

Here is a quick reference for calculating the volume of cones and pyramids.

Notice that both 3D shapes come to a point! Notice that both are divided by 3, is it a coincidence? Nope.

To calculate the volume of the cone, first calculate the area of the circle by multiplying the radius times itself then by pi. Next, multiply the area number by the height of the cone. Lastly, divide your answer by 3. That’s it!

To calculate the volume of a pyramid, find the area of the base (square) by multiplying the length times itself. Multiply this answer by the height. Now divide by 3. Done!
